Punctuality and Total Time Allocated For Examinations

It is the responsibility of all students to arrive on time for all educational activities, especially the examinations. To ensure fair procedures when exams are offered, the following rules will be enforced:

1. Instructions for examinations shall be given at the time the examination is scheduled.
2. The faculty member in charge of the examination will inform the students of the maximum time allocated to answer all the questions, which is usually one to one and a half minutes per question. Students will have adjusted time limits according to approved accommodations.
3. As soon as technical issues are addressed for computer-based exams, examinations must begin, and the exam start time is noted by exam proctors.
4. To minimize disturbances to other students, no student will be admitted to an examination room more than 30 minutes after the time the examination is scheduled.
5. Students arriving less than 30 minutes late to the examination room will be permitted to take the examination.
6. For students arriving late, but within the 30 minutes window, only the time remaining since the exam start time (point 3 above) will be allowed to complete the exam, no additional working time will be allowed.
7. The faculty in charge of the examination will indicate to the student who arrives late, the time she/he has lost and the time remaining.
8. When the time assigned to the student is over, the student must upload the examination, at the request of the faculty. Failure to do so will be considered a violation of professional conduct, may result in a score of 0 in the examination, and will be reported to Student Affairs Office.

Students with a personal, health, or family emergency must report the situation and submit relevant documentation to the Office of Academic Affairs.
